Toddlers

Welcome to the toddler curriculum. During this year, it is important that your child’s social and emotional skills are enhanced. Learning through play is the richest way to learn. Your child will enjoy role playing in different centers while using his/her creative imagination and various props to create familiar situations. Be careful of what you do and say; we may see it in our classroom! Working in small groups will help children interact with others by learning to share, taking turns, and talking with one another in appropriate ways. We will give your child the tools to help him/her be successful while playing with others.

Our curriculum is based on learning through songs, finger plays, repetition, play, and books. Please note that toddlers are not forced to sit in circle; children are asked to join in the following activities; however, some may choose to continue exploring centers in the classroom. Here are some highlights of our Toddler’s curriculum:

Theme and Bible Story of the Week:

School-wide theme and bible story of the week

Open-ended questions and discussions to enhance thinking and listening skills

Opportunities to express self during circle activities: open-ended questions, weather, Pledge of Allegiance, theme of week, Bible story of week, group songs, stories

Shine Time will be scheduled at least once a month per child (Please note that this is like Show & Share; however, they will not bring an item from home. They will be asked to “shine” in front of their friends. They may sing a song, jump five times, tell about what they ate for breakfast, etc.)

Fine and Gross Motor Skills:

Play daily on playground, in the Rumpus Room, and in the gym weather permitting with age appropriate toys

What our parents say...

“Enriched our family as a whole…”

CLCC has not only enriched the lives of my children, but it has enriched our family as a whole. We have met parents who have become some of our dearest friends. The teachers and staff are no longer strangers to us, but are people we consider part of our family.

“They learned the love of God…”

It is difficult to put into words how much the Center has meant to my family. To know that my children were somewhere where they were known, safe and loved is priceless beyond measure. I never walked into CLCC and didn't feel peace, calm and order. I would walk down the hall and teachers I had never met would smile and say hello to my children. And most importantly, they learned the love of God there. The school has been an important part of my children's emotional and spiritual development, and we will forever be grateful.

“Amazing staff…”

CLCC holds such a special place in our hearts because of the amazing staff. It was not only the outpouring of love by all the staff for the children attending CLCC, but also their recognition of the strong bond of family, that resulted in our children thriving at CLCC. Day after day, week after week, we dropped our children off at CLCC and we always knew they were enjoying themselves, being well taken care of, and learning in a wonderfully, safe environment.

“Christ centered…”

The teachers and administration are deeply committed to creating a Christ centered, knowledge filled environment for the children. The impact the teachers and administration have on the children who pass through the doors is enormous! They plant little seeds throughout the preschool years, knowing that those seeds will one day blossom.

Our mission is to promote a Christ-centered environment where children are nurtured, loved, and cared for. We strive to develop basic Christian principles. As Christian educators, we are partners with parents/legal guardians in helping children reach their full potential while at CLCC.
